SUBJECT: Market research is being conducted to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements for qualification and production of the Gas Generator, NSN 1095-01-511-077GG, 6127636. ITEM DESCRIPTION The Gas Generator for the BRU-44 is used on the B-2. The Gas Generator is a unique and important piece of equipment in the bomb rack. This item only used in the BRU-44, developed to withstand the high pressure and longer burn time required for the BRU-44. It was developed specifically for the BRU-44 bomb rack with requirements that are military unique. Specific Gas Generator design knowledge, along with repair and test capability is essential for the safe operation of the rack. If a Gas Generator cannot pass a proof load test, there is a potential for catastrophic failure that could damage the aircraft and or ordinance it is carrying. Impediment to Competition: The original equipment manufacturer for this item is Chemring Energetic Devices Inc. (CAGE 93455). The Government does not own any data, drawings, schematics, or any other releasable technical data in support of this requirement. As a result, Chemring is the only known source with adequate knowledge of the Gas Generator performance requirements and possession of the required technical data and capabilities needed to produce these items and ensure compatibility of the equipment. INTEREST The DLA/AWB Contracting Office intends to award a sole source contract to Chemring for the manufacture of the Gas Generator in support of the B-2 program. Other interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement no later than 23 July 2018 by emailing Michelle Smith lisa.smith.39@us.af.mil and/or dla.dlr.proc@us.af.mil.
